Good!
Yeah, sell your stolen watches in the same city, that won't get you caught :-) Another piece of scum off the streets...

18 months...not enough!
I guess a lot people see buying stolen goods as a victimless crime "Well, I didn't steal it so it's not my problem", alhtough that implies that they know or suspect it is stolen.
I see a lot of this in the bike world. Yes, it is not the same amount of cash but the concept is the same, I suspect many people probably aren't as diligent as us here are on the provenance when buying something that expensive.
It's been said many times before - "buy the seller"

I wonder who the specialist dealers were he sold them to and where they've all ended up?

how comes the traders who have purchased aint getting charged for handling stolen goods
The "Independent" dealers mentioned in the article were, shall we say, "a bit lax" in checking the provenance of so many watches being offered to them by a single person.
So you buy off a'specialist watch dealer'. Later you find the watch was stolen......what's the situation?
You'll lose your watch but you'll have legal recourse against the seller. Watch must be returned to rightful owner or insurance company.

Well that is a lot of stolen watches sold into pre-ownded specialists I wonder who he's been selling to?
Given the quantities they must have had suspicions?
I wonder if my Rolex is hooky? It's been back to Rolex in my ownership so I assume not as I assume they check the register of every watch they service.
How many of us were aware of the Art Loss Register?
I certainly don't recall any discussions about it here, nor about The Watch Register which provides what looks like a very useful service:
http://www.thewatchregister.comBuy with confidence by checking the serial number of any second-hand watch with the Watch Register or asking if your seller has already done so. It is the simplest step to ensuring good title. Alternatively, if you have suffered the theft of a watch, registering it on the Watch Register offers you the best chance of finding it in the future.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
That specialises in pre-owned Rolex! I've often wondered when you see fairly new Rolex with no box or papers, how do you loose the box?

I wonder if the Dealers in question have given details of customers they sold the watches too
Never heard of this chap, but as for the others involved we'd really need to know more before condemning.
It is true, regardless, that the trade has too many who don't want to know or ask.
Would be interested to learn who was involved, I must admit.

Typical loose poorly written journalism . In the beginning it states he was the only Director of quality Marque watches then at the bottom states he wasn`t registered as a company . Maybe they mean VAT but still an 18 Month sentence for knowingly dealing /fencing stolen property is pathetic . he`ll be out in 5 months probably . A real mess for the dealers who didnt check out the goods thoroughly enough .
I came across this guy, last year when I was selling a watch on eBay. I hadn't realised that he had previously been mentioned on the forum although I did check him out before declining to sell him a Seiko. There's a thread in the Bear Pit which shows just what an thoroughly unpleasant and deranged individual he is. Please be careful out there, as he's returned to buying and selling watches, on eBay and possibly elsewhere too.
His name is Nadeem Malick.
That doesn't sound good.
Any new visitors to this thread may like to read this article about the crook, where both Watchfinder and BQW are named with some startling figures :
https://www.policeprofessional.com/n...k-for-support/
"Since 2014, Malick had sold these two companies 535 watches totalling £1.2 million."
I still wonder what they did about watches sourced from Malick that they had already sold.......

Could you share his ebay ID with us, please.
His now-dissolved company 'Quality Marque Watches Ltd' is still listed on Companies House FWIW, under his full name of Nadeem Tayyab Malick, but he's obviously under-the-radar now!
One to avoid!
I've just checked and that account is no longer referenceable. I've also gone back through my emails with eBay and unfortunately I can't shed any more light on him. If I remember rightly his address was in North London, which I know covers a wide area.
There's a residential address (from 2018) linked to him on the Companies House database.
